Dear Bonnie, As this relates to the home, the Five Elements concept (in Traditional Feng Shui) has to be related to the Flying Star analysis. Where, each sector in the Flying Star analysis is looked at i.e. the interaction of the elements of the mountain star# + water star# + base number. The result of this interaction will determine whether there is any imbalances at the specific sector. What you mentioned is in my opinion very basic observations of the Five elements concept. In quite alot of replies, I do mentioned that because of the `bad' elements such as #5 misfortune and #2 sickness which are both earth elements and bad wood #3 are often found in the home in various…

Dear Felicity, In my opinion, it would be more frutiful to try to boost our luck in other areas (if we can). Namely under: 1. Feng Shui of the home - Shapes and forms of the home - Others such as Flying Star. 2. Pillars of destiny - personal luck. 3. Protect the house such as the main entrance door or windows from poison arrows. 4. As for how to counteract the effects of having the main entrance door under `death sector' ... we can do only that much ie. to comfort ourselves such as, closing the door when not in use or keep the location bright. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mogford, 1. I understand your `problem' faced trying to apply Feng Shui to your boat house. 2. A boat house is quite `similar' to a small apartment and dormitory. 3. Applying Feng Shui to your boat house is indeed very difficult and because of space constraints or the uniqueness of the layout, there is not much `enhancements' one can do other than: 3.1 To make the house boat as `cosy' or comfortable to the individual. 3.2 Application of Shapes and Forms is more crucial i.e. `parking' the boat in a secured and sheltered environment. Here, it is like houses which is on a barren land and subject to strong force of wind blowing. It is such unprotected situations e.g. sto…

Dear Jun, The two most important considerations are: 1. Try to the entire room rectangular /square and not odd shaped. This includes the existing and new area. 2. Avoid creating missing corners or sectors for the extension. It is best to have a top down view of the property to ensure that the house is not odd shaped. 3. If the house has a profile of a head i.e. head jutting out of the home, avoid making the `head' of the house heavy! An illustration of an auspicious house becoming inauspicious due to a heavy `head' is as follows:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/grandpa1.htm If one makes the head of the house heavy, it is very inauspicious and can result in death of the bread…

Dear Blanche, For an altar: Avoid placing it 1. facing the dining table. 2. on the opposite wall as the toilet. 3. facing the bedroom. 4. in the bedroom. 5. facing the main door. Otherwise, find a `private' corner of an area. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Blanche, 1. I believe in proper application of Feng Shui, usually the colour co-ordination and colour / material of furniture should take into consideration the personal element of the person and his/her partner. 2. This is where, a person's element is determined i.e. weak or strong element. In addition to this, if one has a spouse, the binding element of the two are usually taken into consideration especially in the bedroom and areas such as the living and dining room. 3. The Flying Star analysis is also taken into consideration under Para 2 and the particular sector i.e. South West. 4. If para 1, 2 and 3 is not taken into consideration, then you may have best to go…

Dear Nadine, In my opinion, my preference is white or light cream/beige. Again, this is quite subjective so long as the roof is not painted /tiled with blue. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Overall, the home should be kept `bright' as opposed to dark (or darkness). Most of the time, "advise" provided would focus more on `interior' decoration and how each person (can be the individual or the FS practitioner) percieve about how sectors of the house can be `decorated'. Keep the basics correct such as good shapes and form, first. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Joyce, The door leading to the living room should be taken as this is usually the main entrance door. It is best to do a proper reading of the main entrance door direction else the Flying Star analysis may not be accurate. When you have the proper readings, please e-mail robert-lee@geomancy.net for another report - Group analysis paid report. This report is specifically tailored by me to focus only on the most important interactions. I believe it would prove very useful to help your friend. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Perhaps, it would be more convenient to do a search e.g. under Yahoo.com and type in Feng Shui emporium ... I believe it is much easier to buy it from the internet especially in your part of the country. In my country, there are plentiful shops by the dozen scattered in my locations. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Blanche, This is acceptable because: 1. In general, for example, some consider books are like knifes with `cutting' edges while soap, lotions are usually rounded. 2. One has to spent time at the location. As the toilet is usually a transit area... and we do not spent all our time there, there should not be any issues there. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. In most traditional FS practises, the person's true element i.e. weak or strong element is taken into consideration especially in trying to make the room more closely `fit' the Ba Zi of the person. 2. Thus, if you are a weak water person, light blue colour and even blue colour bedsheet is considered beneficial to a person with weak water element. 3. The caution with `blue' lies with it over a person or room. For example, it is avoidable to paint the ceiling of the room blue. As this represents `difficulty' or water weighing on a person i.e. in the room. 4. For a bedsheet, for example, one is sleeping on top of it. And e.g. light blue painted on the wall; doe…

Dear Anon, 1. The symbolic method to making another main door is to place the house no. on that door instead of the `actual' main entrance door. 2. In my opinion, one can still use the other `main door' and it is not necessary to `seal' off that door. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jun, 1. In my region, acquiring a pair of flutes featuring the phoenix and dragon design is quite simple. The phoenix, symbolizing the female, is typically hung on the left side, while the dragon, representing the male, is placed on the right side, as the dragon is associated with the East. The ease of hanging such flutes is due to the importance of ensuring that the design is not inverted, allowing for easy alignment of the mouthpiece with the pictorial representation. 2. It may not be feasible to come across a pair of flutes with similar designs in your country. In my view, if your flute showcases any illustrations, it is essential to ensure that they are…

Dear Joyce, 1. I am not sure if you are familiar with the atttached method of finding the main door of the house:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/cecilcompass.htm 2. If you have the layout plan and have difficulty finding the centrepoint e.g. especially if the house has many missing corners, then you - scan and attached it to this forum for me to help locate the centrepoint. Alternatively, you can email me for my fax no. (if need be). 3. I believe, the description you mentioned in finding the main entrance may not be `correct' as what I can understand. You need to be at the centrepoint of the house and from there, find the direction of the main entrance door. There may be dev…

Dear Wasis, We live in a practical world and many of us should not be deprived of books (some of us loved so much). For `bookworms' or those who simply love books, would be surrounded by them. Therefore, the only practical advise is to keep them neatly.. it would be good to have them kept inside bookshelves. If one has open bookshelves, so much the better. Although it is said that books are like knives, I could try to avoid placing it facing the bed. If one's bedroom has sufficient room for the bed and a separate area for say the study area or small corner bookself, facing away from the bed, the better. Else, for many people, it is still acceptable here. Warmest Regards,…

Dear Brenda, Yes, a small decorative screen next to the toilet so long as it is sufficent to block the view of the toilet and not the whole bathroom would suffice i.e. OK. For a mirror facing the front door normally this would not be advisable as it would reflect Qi or disperse Qi and may not be that advisable. It also depends on other factors i.e. distance to the door etc... If a mirror has to be used, a sloping mirror (similiar to those found at some shop shops for customers to view a pair of shoes) i.e. sloping would be an alternative where it is not perpenticular to the door. Warmest Regards, Cecil

To the Chinese, it is unlucky to give especially someone: 1. A clock. 2. A pair of shoes. But since this is a watch.. it dwells more on beliefs or coincidences. But generally, it is felt that giving knives is not good since it is symbolic of sharp or pointed objects. Nevertheless, as relationships are built on communication, trust and interaction of the two parties, if you want to try to continue with your relationship, should perhaps, have a `hard to hard' talk with your ex-boyfriend and see how things goes.... Warmest Regards Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Thank you for your layout plan. 2. Attached please find my comments in the attached file below. 3. Priority is to place the bed based on Shapes and Forms school first. It would be nice to have, it if it can match your Gua no. but priority must be given to proper placement as shown in the attached layout. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Yijun, 1. You have not mentioned whether you are a person with `Strong' or `Weak' water. 2. If you are a person with Strong Water element, then earth can help. For example, under the Five elements concept, Earth destroys Water. So if you are a person with Strong Water, earth can be used to exhaust your Strong Water. And this would be beneficial to you. 3. If you are instead, a person with Weak Water, you should not add too much Earth. As Earth can futher weaken your Weak water element. 4. If one is trying to add earth element, one should be more `careful' since it is not advisable to introduce Earth element to sectors in the home especially if one had not done a FS a…

Dear Wendy, 1. Since you already have confirmed moving into the home, yes, you can check out the house orientation viz a viz the main entrance door after you have moved into the house. 2. In macro Feng Shui, the best method to determine how good the site is; is to look at the overall city or county where your home is located. 3. We have to remember here that macro Feng Shui is important. The general well being of family households lies with the location i.e. city / county that one's home is located. 4. Next, the external environment of your home. As you had mentioned, your house is shielded by a large hill. 5. In general, the prosperity of not only your house but your ne…

Dear Anon, The best option (if you can) is to place a partition between the door and the toilet entrance. The partition can either be closer to the toilet area or the main entrance door. If the layout of your home is `L' shaped, it would be good to break the room into two `rectangles' using a divider. If you are using a divider to block the view of the toilet/ main entrance, it need not necessarily be of full height i.e. not necessary to be up to the height of the ceiling. So long as if one stands at the main entrance and cannot see the toilet door it (the toilet door) no longer becomes a `threat' or Sha Qi. The other option is to close the toilet door when not in use. …
